As the slab is already laid it is most likely that no engineer will sign off on it, and that you will have to demolish it and start again, or it might not comply with your DCP rules.

Once you have the approval then contact the builder to…[Read more]

If there was death or was a crime scene before it must be disclosed by Agents if they are aware of it. However the law is very funny sometimes and leaves so many unanswered questions.

It Costs more, maintenance fees are higher over the years, but it looks better and you get better thermal mass. If its the modern European look that you are after then go for it.

As i explained in my previos post, Gov. gives maximum $2,000 which you cant hold, you can only deduct it next time you make profit. This is just my experience, you better talk with an accountant.
